Assistant Construction Manager

We're partnered with a well-established General Contractor with a strong backlog of K-12, DSA, and public works projects across California. They're looking to bring on a Project Engineer / early-career project leader who wants real exposure across the full project lifecycle — not just paperwork.

• Maintain and track RFIs, submittals, and project documentation (Procore/Bluebeam)

• Coordinate between field, design teams, and ownership groups to keep communication tight

• Assist with QA/QC and DSA compliance requirements

• Support closeout, punchlists, and final turnover

• 3+ years of experience supporting construction projects (ideally DSA, K-12, or public works)

• Exposure to California public contracting + DSA processes is a big plus

• Comfortable with Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project

• Strong attention to detail, organization, and ability to keep things moving

• Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related preferred

• Competitive base + performance bonus
